Unknown Woman Hurled Down stairs

An unknown woman was thrown down
q hight OF stairs at sos South Seventh
street, Pbila., On Monday morning and
sustained injuries from which she died
shortly afterwards.
Late on Sunday afternoon a shabbily-
dressed woman, about twenty-seven years
OF age, called at the place, which Is four
story tenement house inhabited by Ital-
lans. The woman went Mt once to the
third story and entered the apartments
occupied by an Italian woman named
Carrie Wocott, alias Kate Hennessy.
carrie Wolcott wac one whom none of
the other residents OF the house could
comprehend. She paid no attention to the
other inmates, living the lite of u person
at variance with the world and everybody
In it.
For several days past she has been in
dulging deeply in drink, and on Sun
day, 1t is said, was intoxicated. Moth
Ing more was seen of the unknown
woman who entered her rooms until
nine O'Clock on Monday morning when
the two were heard quarrelling. AS al
tercations are almost daily occurrence
In the place, scarcely any attention
was paid to the matter, and for short
period all sounds of q quarrel were hush
led.
Shortly before ten o'clock, the brawl
was renewed with redoubIed vigor, dur
ing which Carrie Wolcott was heard to
|peremptorily order the woman from the
house.
The woman refused to comply with
this order and Carrie pushed her out
on the landing. The other woman
made ever effort in her power to resist
/ her.
Again she attempted to force her way
into the rooms, when Carrie, 1t is alleged,
gave her violent push which caused her
to lose her balance and fall backwards
down the stairs to the landing below.
The woman in her descent struck her
head on one of the steps, fracturing
her skull. When she was picked up
shortly afterwards she was found to be
/ dead.
Nicholas Geront, who is said to have
been living with Carrie Wolcot, since
her occupancy of the South Seventh
street place, which has been for the past
five weeks, was locked up to await the
action of the Coroner. He witnessed the
crime.
After committing the act Carrie VOL
cott became thoroughly frightened, and,
gathering together few articles of wear
ing apparel. hastily left the place. Up
to twelve O'Clock last night she had
not been arrested The police secured
clues that will undoubtedly lead to her
arrest.
She is described as a tall, dark complex.
toned woman, of dissolute habits, and q
bold, forward manner.
A number of people visited the tene.
ment house last night where the dead
woman lay, but none recognized her.

scarcely stand and had to be assisted in

THE CREMATORY.

The process of cremation of garbage which
is becoming SO popular in many cities is be-
ing introduced in this city and promises to
be great relief to u.s. The pollution of our
running streams by dumping into them all
kinds of filth is improper and should not be
allowed. Nor should filth be thrown on va
can't property, as is too often permitted at
the present time. By cremating everything
not fit for use, it is disposed of without
throwing off any offensive or poisonous odor
We can not be too careful concerning the
sanitary condition of the city, especially
during the summer months The city has at
ITS command a crematory wnere gil useless
matter can be burned at reasonable rates. 1t
behooves everyone having the prosperity of
the city at heart to have clean premises, and
that they be free from anything
offensive to the nostrils of the passers-by
The company now having the cremation
business in charge do not propose any clean
ing process nor do they have anything to do
with the cleaning, but the matter rests on
the owners of property to use the means at
